Hello!
This 5-6 mm wasp wasp running around quickly (therefore I only have this bad picture) at a beech trunk at the forest yesterday (northwest Germany). It was bigger and more slender than the species of the genus
Gelis I know, yet. Is it possible to say what it is?
I have found a better pic of apparently the same species on the net. But unfortunately also without ID:

I also do know nearly nothing about them :|. I have no literature, and mostly I'm happy, when I find out the genus name(s)...

That looks convincing. Thanks!
Edit: Occurs in "Entomofauna germanica" as
Aptesis nigrocincta. Also more Google hits with that name.
